Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. GARDINER:

It was infested and had to be treated. When one takes the whole crop of 560,000,000 bushels two years ago it cannot be said that a very large proportion was destroyed by mites.

Mr. PERLEY:

It was up to the elevators. The grain was in their annexes and they had to turn it over, sometimes taking it out of the annexes and putting it in the elevators and then putting it back.

Mr. GARDINER:

There were warnings

sent out. For instance, "Canada, Department of Agriculture," signed "Services, Division of Entomology: Protect Farm Stored Grain." This was sent out throughout the country, posted up, and mailed to individuals, giving warnings in connection with these matters. The farmers look after their own bins to a considerable extent.

Mr. BURTON:

I should like to ask about a different kind of mite which may not be so small. Would the warble-fly menace come under this discussion? What has the department done to assist in trying to stamp out this pest, which is causing a considerable amount of damage to hides where we have animals on the farms?

Mr. GARDINER:

It really comes under

the item we just passed, "entomology." But a very active campaign has been carried on in cooperation with the provincial departments of agriculture in order to fight the warble.

Mr. QUELCH:

Can the minister say if

there will be any difficulty in obtaining supplies of arsenic in the event of a serious outbreak of grasshoppers? A year or two ago there was considerable difficulty in this matter in some municipalities.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE

Mr. MACKENZIE (Vancouver Centre)': On Monday we shall take up first of all the resolution on the war appropriation and the estimates of the Minister of Munitions and Supply, and we may call two items in, order of supply during the day. If we do call them, they are on the Department of the Secretary of State and civil estimates of munitions and supply. Possibly we may have to discuss further the civil estimates of agriculture, and the house must be prepared to take into consideration at any time Mr. Speaker's report on standing orders.
